Features of the picture as pointed out by the author of Old Hong Kong (c.1933) :

        
         Taking the left-hand side of the street first, we hove the upper portion of the original Ice House behind the brow of the hillock (the site, now, of the National City Bank). To the left of that,   a little distance away, is "Green Bank," its fine treeset garden being well shown. Higher up and further away is the adjoining rising ground, Pedder's Hill, with the first Harbour Office and Lieut. Pedder's residence. At the corner of Wyndham Street, coming down to the Queen's Road level, is the old Hongkong Club building.
 

     Returning to the point of view, on the right-hand side we find it possible to identify several of the buildings from the old sale plans. In the right-hand bottom corner is an old boatshed, probably used then also as a storehouse. 

      Adjoining that, at right angles to the waterfront, is another storehouse, probably a coalshed taking the place of an earlier coal store which a plan of 1841 shows to have been on the Ice House site.

         Immediately beyond that again is seen Dent and Company's office property, and a roofed-over pier, which was the firm's private jetty shown in several plans as "Dent's pier". This property is now occupied approximately by Exchange Building on one side and Long Hing's and other shops on the Queen's Road frontage.

         Immediately the other side of Pedder Street, across the road from the Hongkong Club, we see the roof and part of the upper storey of the old Post Office (the site at present occupied by China Building).
